How We Met

My freshman year of college consisted of many days spent in my dorm room, doing work and....sleeping. I wasn't much of a social butterfly before college and that really didn't change throughout those years. I stayed in Pride Hall at North Carolina Agricultural & Technical State University (NCAT). Little did I know, my husband also stayed in the same dorm hall. I made friends who I would go to the cafe with, hangout with in each other's rooms and make quick trips to find food off campus. There was one guy who I had not met but knew of through my friends. One day I was told that a guy named Clint really liked me and wanted to get to know me.

This is a great method for a quick rinse of your blender between uses throughout the week. Deep clean the blender after two uses. Choosing an effective dish soap is key to making sure that all debris from the blender has been removed. If any debris is left after the first rinse, repeat.

My In-Vitro Fertilization (IVF) Experience

I remember while growing up of hearing the phrase "test tube baby". This phrase was derogatory, insulting and used commonly as a joke. Never did I think that I would need science to conceive. Fertility, in the minds of most couples. is an intimate and private subject. Once we began the doctor appointments and realized just how costly IVF would be for us, we decided to go public with our journey. Crowdfunding is very common for raising funds for various things. We created a GoFundMe page and started the Our Little Cannonball campaign. Unfortunately, we did not raise any substantial funds towards our procedures but we did gain supporters and a small amount of money was raised which helped with meals and gas while on the go. I was browsing the internet one day and decided to randomly apply for a personal loan. To my surprise, we were immediately approved for a substantial amount that would allow us to afford the procedure. Our IVF cycle plans had to be paid in full be
